Plane
Plane combines project tracking, documentation, and AI workflows so teams and agents can plan and manage work together.
What is Plane?
Plane is an open-source project management and knowledge management platform available in cloud, self-hosted, and air-gapped deployments. It organizes work using initiatives, projects, modules, and time-boxed cycles. Users can track work items across list, board, calendar, spreadsheet, and timeline layouts. The platform includes a built-in wiki for collaborative documentation, intake forms and email ingestion to capture external requests, and customizable workflows with approvals. Plane also features native AI agents, an open-source Model Context Protocol server, and integrations with development and communication tools.
